so - a new incarnation is on the way - gone is the black on green, dropped in the winch bumper to powdercoating and picked up the rear bar - what a difference driving back with no 130kg on the front ! enjoying the Bob-nose look

When you look at the front of it other than the rads there's next to nothing between the headlamps, a very weak slam panel and not a lot else, certainly nothing that's going to help in an impact or protect the engine, so I'm sure I would rather have the metal bumper as opposed to a fibre glass or factory plastic one

although not an ARB , the bumper was universally acclaimed as " f@ckin`ell, thats solid - wouldn`t like to walk into that let alone be hit by it!" a bit rusty though so in a week, I shall have the winch bumper back, and the towbar with its welded on bumper, all in glorious KTM orange

Rimteck by key line in `Ness, Col - they really do rims (as per the monika) but quite happily took it on and have done a great job - the black coating on the rollbar had to be cut off with oxy acetylene - acid and shot blasting wouldn`t touch it.

Lol, "extremely strong metal" - like Blackadders incredibly strong ale - thats a piece of 2mm pressed steel box section - if a bumble bee hit that at over thirty - carnage!
